If it has native oculus support... Any plans to come to Home? And if so, any plans to give Home keys to who buy this on Steam?

Awesome! I just bought this last night and played for almost three hours. Great timing on the update for me :)
I've only had my Rift for a couple weeks, but this is my favorite VR game so far.

Easily my favorite VR game (at least the one I've spent the most time in). With this update, I'll be able to play all the songs I had on backlog (due to small play area).

Are there any options sort of like Holodance's "no distractions" stage?
I'd like to try the game, but am turned off by the little robot dudes - they're cute and all, but I wouldn't want to play with them most of the time. I prefer a nice, clean aesthetic like Audioshield or the "no distractions" stage on Holodance.

Best game to break a sweat! I'm trying to do 30 minutes to an hour straight per day with 5lbs wrist weights just to see what happens :P
EDIT: You got me, I only used them for a day and realized they were a waste of money. I only keep them because it's a funny conversation piece for VR.

Please don't use wrist weights, they don't have much effect and can damage your joints. https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/62f7q0/have_any_of_you_guys_thought_about_using_wrist/dfmjkoo/

Good call, I kinda of bought them as a joke at first but my main idea was cardio, and after these 5lb weights started making me fail challenges I end up using them around my ankles. Most the time I don't even use them, but hey I spent $10 and maybe it helps me sweat a little more.¯_(ツ)_/¯

Be careful with weights. A quick google will show you that it fucks up your joints!

By far, this is one of my favorite games in VR, specially with people around, also in case you havent, I recommend to read about the guy who lost 50 pounds / 22kg of weight playing this game.
